I used to cycle during my childhood and quitted. I returned back 5 years ago.
I eat ice cream almost every day :) its more of a passion than food to me, that's why I made a formula of 1 hour cycling a day so that I can have 2 scoops of ice cream and still lose weight & be in shape.
I am looking forward that our team will enjoy the route and finish in good timing.
I am planning to have 4 breaks plus one lunch break a day. Each break for 5 to 10 minutes, lunch 45 minutes.
Let’s have some fun :)"

It`s my second GBI and I am still on fire. We will start with only a few cyclists (2!) from Paris (probably we complete another team) and collect the rest of our team (5) in Luxembourg. What track we choose depends on the fitness and willingness of our team. It will be a deep democratic process to decide whether we take track 1b or 2 from Paris to Luxembourg (racing bikes preferred). From there we will decide again by asking the new participants. We aspire to realize an average speed about 25 km/h and having breaks in a regular matter, what means that we don’t plan it but stop if we want (as well as a result of a democratic decision) to enjoy the landscape, french wine, belgian-fried potatoes, german ice leg ;-) or whatever. If you want to have a lot of fun within an ambitious team, JOIN US!

Please note: THIS TEAM CAN ONLY BE JOINED BY INVITATION. PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH THE TEAMLEADER TO GET A REGISTRATION CODE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE TEAMLEADER, PLEASE CONTACT support@gbi-
